i like a lot of descriptions on that thread and will absolutely cop to being a bit rate snob AND i wholeheartedly support this poll. i'm voting for software upgrades just because they're really unpleasant and this is pleasant music.

software upgrades just because they're really unpleasant
Things getting better = unpleasant? OK.
― Gonk Steady Crew (Noel Emits), Friday, 27 April 2018 23:28 (five years ago) link
Can "this is pleasant music" be added to the poll? Autechre is always my first port of call when I want some pleasant music.
― Gonk Steady Crew (Noel Emits), Friday, 27 April 2018 23:38 (five years ago) link
show me someone who believes software upgrades are "things getting better" in 2018 and i'll show you a fool. p.s. don't be a bitch
― you bet, nancy (map), Friday, 27 April 2018 23:46 (five years ago) link
Upgrade by definition means things getting better. If it isn't better it's not an upgrade.
If you want to wilfully misconstrue that I think it's only fair to return the favour and mention that "this is pleasant music" is more nauseating than anything in the poll.

There's no band I wish I liked more than Autechre. On paper, they seem like exactly what I want in a band, but everything I've listened to has been impenetrable. Might try again with this new release

Relax, it's not the end of Autechre. They're hitting peak form, touring, releasing more and more music. People asked the same thing when L-Event finished with "Newbound".

If anyone else is struggling with the meaning of the word upgrade I can suggest a dictionary or y'know, context ;-)
You're even free to look it up on your Encarta CD-ROM.

it's a wilfully, pugnaciously bad take. if you're saying that software developers don't routinely release things called upgrades that sometimes make the user experience actively worse then i don't know how to argue. if you're saying that an upgrade that doesn't improve the user experience isn't an upgrade then that just semantic nonsense.
i mean it's also entirely irrelevant but fuck it, it's a quiet Saturday.
― the vomming of the snark (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 28 April 2018 11:25 (five years ago) link
It's fine if you associate a word with some poor usage but a) that's not what it means and b) it's clear as fuck not what was intended in the original sentence - "software upgrades that make previous iterations redundant."
Also, many software upgrades are actually good.
― Gonk Steady Crew (Noel Emits), Saturday, 28 April 2018 11:45 (five years ago) link
Words gain their meaning from usage, and if dictionaries don't show this yet, then that's because they're slow to update.
― Frederik B, Saturday, 28 April 2018 12:10 (five years ago) link
So "upgrade" is primarily euphemistic now? Even when qualified as obviously positive?
Funny tho, I genuinely associate software upgrades with cool new stuff that pisses on earlier versions.
― Gonk Steady Crew (Noel Emits), Saturday, 28 April 2018 12:13 (five years ago) link

As someone who has never listened to Autechre, for no particular reasons, these descriptions have convinced me to give them a serious shot.

The answer is Whiney perpetually feels he has to be ~ahead of the game~, beat the backlash before it beats him. He'll still put NTS1-4 in his EOTY top 10, just you wait. He'll rave about it yet only in writing he's actually paid for. On here he'll scorn and police people *liking music*. He can't do it without an ~ironic fight~ on a message board. Not realising that tiresome gig is up since, what, 1998?
You could be that person too, Moodles. Alternatively, you might not want to bother with that tiresome meta-post-shizzle stick dragged out into ancient history, making a caricature out of yourself. In which case you are way, way better off. Choose wisely!

It'd be a delightful twist of events if Autechre started using mechanical spring reverb (recording their sounds through amplifiers, etc.), instead of relying on the digital reverb-freeze effects that have been so prominent since the Quaristice days. I suppose it's ridiculous to consider such a thing. If anything, Ae seem to be moving further / farther away from hardware (old school synthesizers, Elektron boxes, etc.), towards this hyper-digital frontier
